A Question

[talkyourwayout]

I think this school might need better security. It seems like people come and go basically whenever, doesn't it? I wonder if there's some kind of sign-in sheet somewhere. Of course, it's easy to just fake a signature. [Louie would know. He doesn't have forgery experience, but he's made sure he knows a bit.] The point is that I saw someone around the school, and I think I know who it is. I'm pretty sure. And if it's them, it's probably going to end badly.

Here's the thing: I don't want to just assume someone's up to something. [He knows Webby wouldn't approve. He doesn't think Lena would appreciate the mentality, either. And he's had enough fighting with friends lately.] Usually when I can tell if someone's doing something wrong, it's because I know them. I can see they're acting strange. This is a stranger.

What's the best way to find out what's going on here? If I knew this would happen, maybe I would have taken the espionage class.

Are you in the Intimation class?

Or do you know someone in the Intimation class?

[talkyourwayout]

I probably do. I haven't paid much attention to what classes other people are taking.

Why?

[Clearly, the professors are not doing their job if 'why' needs to be asked. The note is affixed to the board with a sigh.]

Intimation is used to make inquiries with the goal of discovering the truth.

In other words, if you ask an Intimation student to inquire for you, they should be able to tell you if this person is someone you know and whether they have ill intentions.

Your questions will have to be precise, of course. Yes or no answers are best.

[In the defense of the professors, Louie hadn't exactly looked into the courses he wasn't taking, or even read up much when the time to pick classes came. Now? He wishes he had.]

This definitely sounds like a class I should be taking!

[There are probably several dozen ways he could make this useful in his business pursuits. Also, the probable pirate has been momentarily forgotten.]

[perfectenn]

[Sigh. Back on track, please.]

You don't have to take the class. Just find someone who is.

[talkyourwayout]

Well yeah, I've already got a full schedule.

But right! I'll find someone who takes that class, see if they can help.
